Vintage 1980s cream lace and chiffon prom dress size 12-14

A dreamy late-70s/early-80s prom dress in soft cream tones, featuring a beautifully textured lace bodice and a floaty chiffon skirt that moves with a gentle swish. The silhouette is feminine and elegant — perfect for school formals, vintage-themed weddings, or a romantic garden party.

The dress appears to be handmade, with lovely attention to detail in the lacework and soft lining. Light, flattering and easy to style — just add pearls, a soft shawl, or a statement heel for instant femininity.

💛 Deb’s Styling Notes

“Soft, floaty dresses like this are timeless little daydreams — so easy to wear and beautifully flattering on the body. Pair with a cropped cardigan for daytime sweetness, or dress it up with a ribbon sash and pearls for evening romance.”
